Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 12 oz thinly sliced sirloin steak or ribeye, shaved
- 1 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
- 1 cup thinly sliced green bell pepper
- 1.5 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.75 tsp kosher salt divided
- 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 6 oz shredded provolone cheese or sliced, torn
- 6 oz flour tortillas (8-inch) about 4 tortillas
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish, optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
- Sauté the onion and bell pepper with a pinch of salt until tender and lightly browned, 5–7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the sliced steak and cook, stirring, until just browned, 2–3 minutes.
- Stir in garlic, Worcestershire, remaining salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Return peppers and onions to the pan and toss to combine. Scrape the mixture into a bowl and wipe the skillet clean.
- Assemble a quesadilla: place a tortilla in the skillet over medium heat, sprinkle some cheese, add a layer of steak-pepper mixture, then more cheese and a second tortilla.
- Cook until the bottom is golden and cheese starts melting, 2–3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook another 2–3 minutes until crisp and melty.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Rest each quesadilla 1 minute, then slice and garnish with parsley.
Notes
Swap provolone with white American or mozzarella for a creamier melt. Add sautéed mushrooms or hot cherry peppers for a fun twist. Leftovers reheat well in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side to revive the crunch.
